Today we are sharing with you Rochelle's layout inspired by the March Sketch Challenge:

This is what Rochelle said about her layout:

"I love this sketch by Karan Gerber! It was perfect for what I wanted to do and use. It took me a while to embrace the trend of 'gold' but after I started using it on this layout, I really have to say, I love it! I want more gold embellies, foil, paper, mist, etc!!! All of it! LOL Although you can't tell from the photo (it photographed black - bummer) I used gold foil over adhesive flourishes that I added by the flowers. I also used gold glitter scalloped border strips and gold rimmed brads."

"Yep, we finally made it official after 20+ years and ran off to the courhouse and got married! It was perfect! Nothing big, just very intimate.

I just loved this sketch when I seen it and couldn't wait to play with it. I stayed pretty true to it except for mirroring the placement. As for the stash part of including gold embellishments, it gave me the opportunity to finally use some up. My gold touches included are the heart above the date and the love part of my title, also seen in the chevron paper and in the ephemera pieces. Just enough gold for some added sparkle!"

There is only a couple of days left to get your layouts linked to the sidebar for this sketch challenge and for the March stash challenge.

"It's all about the GOLD-something I have been loving for at least the last 3 months or so! This is an older picture of my daughter from a photo shoot and I knew it was perfect for this sketch! I used a gold doily, gold washi's, gold words and puffy heart shapes and that awesome Jenni Bowlin gold butterfly was cut out from my Silhouette.

Can't wait to see your GOLD!"

Happy Hump Day! :) Today we are inspiring you with this fun layout by DT member Becky:

Here's what Becky shares with us about her layout:

"This seemed like the perfect challenge to share a photo from this year's New Years Eve party. It was a masquerade party full of gold and sparkle. Truth be told, there was a time when I would have struggled to create a layout with gold embellishments I resisted the gold trend and didn't have anything in my stash. Well, that's changed in a big way. It was easy to incorporate for this layout, as I've been obsessed with all things gold in recent months."ClickHERE for challenge details and description of this month's fabulous prize from:

Today's inspiration is from our DT member Claire. Here's her beautiful layout:

Here's what Claire shares about her layout:

"Got Gold? I do! And with this layout I start my wedding album after 9 years. Maybe I will be finished with it by my 10 wedding anniversary -one can only hope.

You can't go wrong with a great sketch and lots of gold. I used My Mind's Eye Market Street collection for this layout. There is a lot of gold papers and embellishments in this collection. It's really the only collection I own with gold since I am still working on my stash from last year and the year before. I also pulled out my die cutting machine for the flowers and border strips. I finished with my favorite gold accessory -Heidi Swapp Gold Shine Mist.

I can't wait to see your gold layouts created with this wonderful sketch. Have fun! Enjoy!"

Hey Scrappers!Today DT member Robin is inspiring us with her fantastic layout:

Here's what Robin said about her layout:

"This is a picture of my darling daughter, René. She lives over 1,700 miles away from me. On top of that, she travels word-wide. This picture was taken while she was in Africa, last year. So, lovely!

For my gold embellishments, I used a LOVE paperclip and a STAR paperclip. I, also, used an old gold heart-shaped button, some little gold dots and I added some gold polka-dot Washi tape and gold spray on my title.

Here's a fabulous GOLD layout by DT member Nicole to inspire you today!

Nicole said this about her layout:

"My title says it all! Alongside this beautiful sketch, I incorporated many gold elements to my page starting with the very pretty papers from My Mind's Eye. As you can see, I had many embellishments in my stash to match the papers including the title 'Stay Gold' from Heidi Swapp. So very fitting! The cute little girl is my niece Daphne - she's in competitive cheer and she's a true champ at it! Gold all the way! Visit me at scrap-utopia.blogspot.com for details."

"Love this sketch, I am fun of Karan sketches! I used one of my photo when friends and I are going to see Michael Jackson show here in las vegas. On to the challenge I used dcwv and recollections papers with gold patterned, and fussy cuts the flowers with gold outlined, love this papers. and then added some gold sequins, gold enamel dots by Teresa Collins, and some of her gold rub-ons.

Today's inspiration is from our DT member Lynn. Here is her beautiful layout:

Here's what Lynn shares about her layout:

"Party of 5

Yes! We are five girls in our family! Can you believe it!! Now that we are older, we plan special outings now and then to catch up, laugh, and sometimes cry.

When I seen the sketch, I knew that I wanted to use stamps, washi tape and layers. Adding gold as an embellishment was right up my alley as gold is one of my current obsessions. Such a fun sketch to play with.

More details and close ups on my blog.

Can't wait to see what you create!"

DT member Tanti inspires us today with her beautiful layout. Look how those colors just pop!

Here's what Tanti said about her layout:

"It's been a long time since my first layout with a black background. This is my second one this month. With a dark background I could play a lot with bright colours, which's really fun. And the sketch was so perfect for my photo.
